Sports bottles instead of Travel mugs

Question: Has anyone used sports bottles in their OOT bag instead of Travel mugs. I have to order around 40 cups.. and I wanted to keep the bags at a reasonable price and I know i can get cups at the Dollar store for $1 but i was wondering if anyone used sports bottles. either the pop top where you suck out of it or the ones wehre you unscrew the lid?

Hmm.. That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea really. I think most people were using insulated just to keep the drinks cold or hot but I think water bottles would work just fine too.

Off Topic: I went through Decatur on Monday on my way back from a funeral. When we drove through I thought I had remembered seeing someone on here from there..

susanK did. She packed her stuff in the bottles instead of putting it in a bag & it looked really cute. I can't seem to find her planning pics.

I'm using tumbler mugs because they would pack up easier. They won't help for keeping stuff cold though.

i wanted to do sports bottles - specifically customized Nalgene bottles or Polycarb but i can't find them anywhere for less than $4 to $12 per piece before the set up fees and shipping (works out to like $8 per unit) and most of the places i found required a minimum of 50 or 70 pieces so i scratched that idea

Man! I found some at the $1 tree. But i don't feel like they are big enouh. the tumblers are a good idea too.. i guess it just comes down to wanting a bigger cup! People will probably have the drink down before it gets too warm! lol.. well i know I will! Morgan your cups are so cute. did you paint the names on yourself? are those stickers on the side I love it!!!

And i am sorry you had to go though smelly Decatur and i am sorry about the furnal! But yes I live her for now.. like to move away well atleast from the smell :-)

Here is my link. At first I only had 32 cups. I found more at a different target & they were marked down to five cents so I bought all of them. All 120!

Ahhh I love it! Now my mission for the Day find Cheap cups!! Target or Walmart here I come!

I bet you do! I may be really ahead of myself i have 5 months and i want to get all this stuff done but the invites are not even out yet so i guess i could work on the ones i know for sure are coming!!! do i wash them before painting or after adn before the rub-on?
